Guest guest Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 My daughter, age 9, who lives half of the time with her mother, has had a cough for some time which, according to a doc my ex took her to, is asthma. The only suggestion this supposedly " natural " M.D. had was to prescribe an inhaler (Albuterol). We're not going to do that. We're going to treat it by making dietary and environmental changes. 100% raw would undoubtedly fix the problem, but that isn't going to happen. Even if she's 100% raw with me, I know she won't be when she is with her mom. I would like to consult with a local naturopath who will help us with this. Maybe even a naturopath/homeopath. Or maybe even an M.D. with a natural orientation, if there are any. I'd appreciate any referrals. Mark 206-367-7605 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Get the child off dairy products for one. Then, we have Valya Boutenko, Victoria wrote, " Bernard Jensen, a famous healer and teacher,........and Valya needed to eat more figs and olives because they have healing properties for her asthma. " This is written in the Raw Family book under the " Letting the Body Lead " chapter. This is also what Valya craved and ate. Hope this helps?

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Hi Mark, I cured myself of asthma by cutting out all dairy, sugar, and food additives like sulfur dioxide, etc, and getting rid of all the chemicals in the house. I got asthma from mold in the house - your ex may want to check and see if there's mold, especially in your daughter's room. I did receive some help from Dr. Michelle Antonich at the Bastyr clinic in Wallingford - she put me on a food elimination diet and prescribed a tincture for acute attacks. She told me to hold onto my inhaler for a year to make sure I have it under control. I only had two mild attacks after my visits to Bastyr and I used the tincture - it worked. It was very cold air during walking that brought on the attacks - this and very cold food like ice cream can bring on an attack. I'm going on 2 1/2 years of being asthma-free and I had a very severe case. There are things that will make me wheeze though if I'm not careful - a campfire, those toxic fat marker pens, most laundry detergent and household cleaners, cigarette smoke, and very cold food to name a few. I just do my best to stay away from these things. Feel free to ask any questions.
